Overview
- Bella Hadid posted a series of tearful Instagram Stories describing a current flare-up on Thursday, June 25, saying the episode left her exhausted and distressed.
- She described specific symptoms including extreme fatigue with long sleep and daily naps, brain fog that affects her thinking, and shortness of breath from simple tasks like walking to the kitchen.
- Hadid wrote that she has tried multiple medical protocols from different doctors but that “nothing is helping,” and she described the repeated setbacks that follow apparent improvements.
- Hours after the initial posts she returned to thank supporters, apologised for worrying fans, and received public messages of support from family and thousands of followers.
- Hadid was first diagnosed around 2012 and has previously been hospitalised for complications; her account underlines how Lyme disease is a relapsing, often invisible condition that can make basic daily activities and mental health a central struggle for patients.
